what did you eat during the Puree stage?

Hi everyone, I am 4 weeks post op and moving into puree. I'm trying to get some ideas of what to eat during this stage. All suggestions welcome! Thanks!!

oatmeal, egg drop Soup, cottage cheese, applesauce, puréed Soups. I hate the puréed stage lol

You could have anything you can run through a blender, Magic Bullet or Ninja processor. I had mostly had pureed tuna & hardboiled egg with Walden Farms calorie-free honey mustard mayo, pureed refried Beans with low fat cheddar cheese or high-Protein cream cheese & pureed Stagg chili with the cheese. Occasionally I had some greek yogurt or Kroger Carb-master yogurt. I don't care for the greek yogurt & had to add some Walden Farms Syrup & unflavored Protein powder. I just discovered the high-protein cream cheese a few days ago & I like cream cheese so much, I've had some as a snack. Kroger has a whipped greek cream cheese & yogurt blend that tastes just like cream cheese, not the sour taste of plain yogurt. I didn't want to puree cottage cheese, so I'm waiting for soft foods.

Tomorrow I get to move to soft foods & will still have the tuna & egg, refried Beans & chili, I just won't have to "pulverize" them first. I'm also ready to have some salmon or halibut &, maybe, some "fake" crab.

My saving grace was refried Beans with mozzarella cheese.< /p>

I never thought I would purée meat.. But I did and I loved it

I did things like chicken and gravy or turkey meatloaf gravy and a bit of watery instant mashed potatoes.

I only had one puréed meal. I couldn't stand the texture. So since I had never had any complications, no pain, no nausea, no vomiting, my nut let me go right to soft, soft foods. I ate mashed potatoes, lots of cream Soups, well cooked veggies and really moist chicken/turkey. And Greek yogurt, soft cheese, s/f pudding.< /p>

My new stomach let me know very clearly that it does not like salmon. I'm going to stick to un-pureed versions of what I've been eating for the last two weeks for now.
